At 100K the engine developed a ticking valve noise. Replaced HLA's and Oil pump >>> didn't fix the problem. Decided to just drive it until the engine Kaputs... It is now 214k and the engine still ticks when it iddles too long...I guess it doesn't bother me too much other than being a cosmetic thing. Have replaced muffler system (cheap), brakes, and an intake air gasket that was causing a poor iddle. Guess what? Stuff will break on your car, but hopefully your car was built on a Tuesday so that it won't be a Lemon. Oh yea, Consumer Reports said this car was really bad---- go figure--- at 214k I think it is a great car for the money.

I initially bought my 1993 Mazda 626 ES from a private party because it seemed like a good value at the time. Boy was I proven wrong! Here's a short list of the things I've had repaired on it within the last year: transmission rebuild ($2300), replaced right and left control arms ($625), replaced compressor ($1300), replaced left and right calipers ($450), refilled freon ($125), the list goes on and on. Talk to any other person who owns a Mazda 626 built between 1993 and 2001, and they'll tell you the transmission is going to fail. It's not a question of "if" but rather "when." Do yourself a favor and pick a different used car. Saturns are nice.
Overall good car, but has some problems

My '93 626 has only 94,000 miles on it, yet I just had to have the AT changed out. The engine seems to being doing fine, however there are big problems with the paint (clear coat failing) and the rubber door gaskets. In addition, it used to have lit plastic key lock covers so you you see to get your key in at night, but those went after a couple of years. Mazda should have stuck with standard metal covers.

This car has undoubtedly been the most reliable transportation I've ever purchased. With 160,000 miles on it has been as reliable as I could ask for.

My Mazda has been good to me. I bought it used and I got it with 140,000 and it now has 161,860 . I have put a new exhaust system on it, which has already began to fall apart . Also a new distrubutor . It has been a tough car, and I must say I havent been easy with it. I have been in two accidents, 1st one did'nt help with bald tires and the second one I was doing 95mph and the car lost grip in the rain.. and out of a 95mph accident it only dented my passenger doors. The car is firm and well built. From me not taking care of it I have caused it to burn oil. I'm in the market for a Pontiac Grand Am.
